This train was powered by RhB 107 "Albula," 2-8-0 (SLM 1709 / 1906), BhB class G 4/5, meter-gauge.

Look at the guy on the turntable....he has short sleeves on in February in Switzerland?? Nice composition on number 2, there Thomas!!!

What would be "normal" here for February? Define normal however you wish. |
